Strategy Communication
Early. Often. Ongoing.
That’s Aspire’s response when leaders ask us, “When should we communicate with our employees about the strategic plan?”
We know communication is tricky when you’re talking about strategy, but if you want to a plan that is actionable and owned by the whole organization, waiting until it’s finalized isn’t your only choice.
Early – Start with soliciting feedback from your stakeholders and workforce.
Often – Provide updates on the process, ask for questions, and keep people engaged.
Ongoing – Once the plan is completed, share it, and then share it again, and again until it shapes thinking and actions.
You also have an organization to lead, and this can seem overwhelming at times. The tendency is to put it on the back burner, and then it gets lost. The consequences of that are a plan owned by the few and one that will not succeed. This is where Aspire can step in provide bandwidth and expertise to support you and your efforts.
